The 2014 Nissan Qashqai has just been revealed to the general public for the first time, but a small group of What Car? readers have already had a chance to take a look around the new car.

The first generation of Qashqai was popular with What Car? readers, as it was consistently one of the most searched-for cars on our website.

When the Qashqai was launched it was relatively groudbreaking in offering the benefits of an SUV without the increased running costs, but these days it has several key rivals, including the likes of the Mazda CX-5, Skoda Yeti and the Suzuki SX4 S Cross.

This latest Qashqai is larger, has more features and improved safety equipment, but will all this be enough to retain buyers' interest in an increasingly competitive market? See what our readers thought of the new car in our video.
